Michael Skellig is a limo driver waiting for his client in the alley behind an upscale hotel. HeтАЩs spent the past twenty-eight hours ferrying around Bismarck Avila, a celebrity skateboard mogul who isnтАЩt going home any time soon. Suddenly the wind begins to speak to Skellig in the guttural accent of the Chechen torturer he shot through the eye in Yemen a decade ago:┬аTroubletroubletrouble. Skellig has heard these warnings beforeтАФheтАЩs an Army Special Forces sergeant whose limo company is staffed by a ragtag band of wounded veterans, including his Afghan interpreterтАФand he knows to listen carefully.
Skellig runs inside just in time to save Avila from two gunmen but too late for one of AvilaтАЩs bodyguardsтАФand wakes up hours later in the hospital, the only person of interest in custody for the murder. Complicating matters further is the appearance of Detective Delilah Groopman of the LAPD, gorgeous and brash, for whom Skellig has always held a candle. As for Avila? HeтАЩs willing to help clear SkelligтАЩs name under one peculiar condition: that Skellig become AvilaтАЩs personal chauffeur. A cushy gig for any driver, except for the fact that someone is clearly trying to kill Avila, and Skellig is literally the only person sitting between Avila and a bullet to the head.
